Araluma's PNG to WebP converter rebuilds your image in the WebP format. Drop a single picture or a whole set, press convert, and download one file or a zip of the set. A heavy PNG becomes a much smaller WebP that keeps transparency. A single image is converted right on the page, with nothing uploaded, while converting several at once uses our server and the download link is removed within about two hours. A WebP carries transparency, so a see-through area stays clear. It reads PNG, and a whole batch of them, and gives back a WebP or a zip of the set. There is nothing to learn and nothing to install first. Drop your PNG and convert.
Drop your PNG file on the page, or pick it from your device, and it is ready to convert at once. Press the button and your WebP comes back to download in seconds, one file for a single image or a zip for a set. A single image is rebuilt right on the page, with nothing uploaded, and converting several at once uses our server. Nothing is set up beforehand.
A PNG with a transparent background is often far heavier than it needs to be, and WebP fixes that: it keeps the transparency while cutting the file down sharply. Converting PNG to WebP is the move for a logo, icon, or graphic that has to stay see-through but also has to load fast on a page.
The transparent background carries across, since WebP supports transparency, and the picture looks the same while the file gets much lighter. The only thing to confirm is support: WebP works almost everywhere today, but if a tool in your chain still refuses it, PNG stays the safe fallback.
WebP is accepted almost everywhere a picture can go today, which is the main reason to convert to it, and the only real holdout is some very old software or a fussy upload form, in which case a plain JPG is the fallback that always works. For everyday use you will not hit a wall.
How your image is handled depends on how many you convert. A single image is rebuilt right on the page, with nothing uploaded, so that one stays entirely with you. Converting several at once sends them to our server, which builds the zip and removes the download link within about two hours, and a button deletes it the moment you have it. You can confirm it in the network panel, where one image makes no network calls whatsoever.
This converter changes the format and keeps the picture. If the WebP is still heavier than you want, run it through a compressor, and if it is larger on screen than it needs to be, set its size with a resizer first. To go the other way, convert WebP back to PNG.
Drop your PNG on the page or pick it from your device, one or a whole set.
The tool rebuilds it as a WebP, one file or a zip for several.
One image converts on the page, several use our server, link gone in ~2h.
Save your WebP, or the zip, to your device.
Converting changes the format. Make the WebP lighter, set its size, or convert it back to PNG.
Open the page, add your PNG with a click or a drag, and press convert. Your WebP comes back ready to save in seconds, a single file or a zip for several, with nothing stamped on it and nothing to pay. There is nothing to install first.
The picture looks the same, and the WebP is saved at high quality. WebP keeps the look at a smaller size, and a transparent background carries across untouched, which is why it is the modern default for the web.
Yes, WebP supports transparency, so a see-through area in your PNG stays clear in the WebP, with nothing flattened or filled in along the way. That is one of the main reasons to pick WebP over a format like JPG, which would turn those clear areas white.
It depends on the count. One image is rebuilt right on the page with no network calls at all, so it never reaches a server. Two or more upload to our server, which zips them and removes the download link within about two hours, with a button to delete it immediately. Nothing is kept once you have your download.
Yes, drop a whole set and they come back as a single zip you download in one go. A batch is the case that uses the server, so the files go up, get converted and zipped, and the link expires on its own within about two hours, sooner if you tap delete. It is the iLove-style batch flow, one press for the lot.
Yes. The WebP comes back with nothing stamped on it, no badge in the corner and no mark across it, and there is nothing to pay for the download. You save the file and use it wherever you need, as many times as you like.
